I’m an art director and designer with over 12 years of professional experience. I am currently based in (my hometown) Vancouver, Canada.

Prior to this I was living and working in Tokyo, Japan for almost 12 years where I was lucky to be surrounded by innovation and cutting-edge design.

I specialize in web and print design and am passionate about working with brands and companies who want to execute intelligent creative aesthetic solutions.

What are ‘intelligent creative aesthetic solutions’? They are designs that are visually inspiring and hit home for businesses and clients alike. They show off the ideas and culture behind products and channel the very best of the brand. Intelligent solutions create worlds that a brand’s specific consumers can feel comfortable, even happy, in.  I strongly believe that even in this hyper-consumerist era, just because you’re selling something you don’t have to sell out.

Another thing that drives me in my work is that there is so much possibility in the world of design. Everything can always be evolved. There are so many great products and ideas out there and there are amazing creative solutions for them all. Creativity and the drive to make perfection keeps business going, brands exciting, and art and design and craftsmanship alive.
